Baked Crab Dip Recipe

We enjoyed this exquisite dip at my grandson's wedding reception. It looks fancy but is easy to make. You can even fill the bread bowl early in the day and chill it until serving. Just remove it from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. —Marie Shelley, Exeter, Missouri

"OMG......this crab dip was awesome and very easy to fix, did not add or delete anything. I made it with 2 cups of crabmeat instead of the can crabmeat and everyone just devoured it. This will be one of my special go to appetizers from now on."

"This recipe sounds wonderful. Is it just as good when you use the imitation crab meat?"

"This was a huge hit at the party..people that did not like crab wanted the recipe to this..was so good.. my husband asked for me to make again...what a hit.."

"I am used to making Paula Deen's Hot Crab Dip recipe. I thought I'd try something different for a change. This was not very good. I was surprised too, because it sounds wonderful, but we were very disappointed."

"I made this for a family function a few months ago. It was an immediate hit and was quickly gone...even the bread bowl! Now my grandnephew has asked that I make it again for his birthday. This is a real winner."
